Fertilizers are necessary for the proper growth of flowers in the garden.

Other factors such as soil, location and growing conditions should also be taken into account.

First of all, choose the right plant for the location.

If the plant receives only 3 hours of direct sunlight, then geraniums, roses, scaevola, salvia and other sunny plants will not delight you with lush flowering.

Good soil preparation will ensure rapid root development.

Soil preparation is often one of the most underrated parts of successful gardening.

Good root development prevents stress on the plant, which will have difficulty breaking through dense soil.

Always loosen the soil well to the depth depending on its type.

Also add drainage - coarse sand, gravel, pine chips - to the entire depth of the loosened soil.

Then take care of proper fertilizing. To do this, use organic substances with a high nutrient content, including aged manure, compost, and planting mix.

Nutrients will seep down to the roots through watering or rain.

For violas, pansies, petunias, azaleas always check the pH, as these plants quickly die in alkaline soils.

Also make sure that the growing weather conditions are suitable for your plants.

To get good results, the soil will need to be fertilized regularly.
